The Microbiology & Immunology course offers a comprehensive exploration of microorganisms, infectious agents, and the immune system’s critical role in protecting against diseases. Students will delve into the principles of microbiology, studying various microorganisms, their structure, metabolism, and ecological significance. Additionally, the course covers immunology, examining the intricacies of the immune response, including the function of immune cells, antibodies, and cytokines. Through theoretical lectures, practical laboratory work, and case studies, students will develop a profound understanding of pathogenic mechanisms, host-pathogen interactions, and the development of immunity. Graduates will be prepared for careers in research, healthcare, public health, and vaccine development, equipped with the knowledge and skills to combat infectious diseases and contribute to global health initiatives.

Our Microbiology & Immunology qualifications have been designed in collaboration with colleges, higher education institutions, and sector skills councils. They offer a pathway for individuals to progress to university degrees and cover Diploma Level- 3 to 7.
